SHOP CASE KNIVESMedford Knives builds every blade with precision, durability, and no compromises, and the Smooth Criminal is no exception. This out-the-side automatic is designed for fast, reliable deployment, making it a serious tool for those who demand performance. The 3" CPM-S45VN stainless steel drop point blade has a black PVD-coated finish, enhancing its toughness and corrosion resistance while giving it a stealthy, tactical look. A push-button mechanism ensures smooth, one-handed opening with a secure lockup every time.
The black aluminum handles are lightweight yet rugged, contoured for a confident grip. Bronze-finished stainless steel hardware adds a touch of striking contrast while maintaining Medford’s signature tough aesthetic. A black aluminum backspacer with a built-in lanyard post offers added carry options, and the stainless steel tip-up pocket clip ensures secure storage and quick access. At 4" closed and 7" overall, this automatic hits the sweet spot between portability and cutting power, weighing just 3.53oz for easy everyday carry.
Proudly made in the USA, the Smooth Criminal comes with a certificate of authenticity, a Medford sticker and Velcro patch, and a black zippered carry case with a Medford dog tag. Available exclusively at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s largest knife store, this blade is built to last and ready for action. Medford’s craftsmanship speaks for itself, and this automatic is proof of their dedication to quality.
